He Cured His Own Asthma With His Hands — Then Spent 33 Years Teaching Others W/Michael D'alton

Episode SummaryOto sits down with Derrick Broze — independent investigative journalist, documentary filmmaker, and founder of The Conscious Resistance Network — for a conversation that starts in a Texas state prison and ends with 23 acres in the mountains of central Mexico.Derrick's awakening didn't begin with Ron Paul or the Federal Reserve. It began the week before he turned 21, when he was arrested for possession of crystal meth and went on to serve 18 months. He walks Oto through what losing everything taught him, how a library book on cannabis history cracked open his first real questions about the drug war, and how a decade of journalism led to his YouTube channel being deleted in October 2020 with 76,000 subscribers.From there they dig into the pyramid of power, the parasite class and its relationship to addiction, and where blockchain genuinely serves freedom versus where tokenization becomes a control grid.The back half is the part worth staying for. Derrick lays out exit and build — his answer to people who consume doom and call it awareness — including the Conscious Agora eco-village he's spent five years assembling, the Freedom Cells network that grew from 2,000 to 40,000 people during COVID, and his rewrite of the World Economic Forum's own essay: Welcome to 2030.

Welcome to 2030: I Own Land and Life Has Never Been Better W/ Derrick Broze

Oto sits down with Hans Toohey — former Navy helicopter pilot, Harvard Kennedy School grad, and co-founder of Remnant Finance — for a conversation that starts with a broken contract and ends somewhere very few finance conversations go. Hans was twelve years into a career he'd planned his whole adult life around when he refused the mandate, filed a religious accommodation request, and got benched from the cockpit for two years while the Navy sat on his appeal.What he did with those two years is why this episode exists. He'd studied contract law as an elective at Harvard, so when the Navy tried to rewrite his contract retroactively, recoup a bonus they'd already paid, and claw back years of flight pay, he recognized exactly what he was looking at. He fought it. The class action won. But the bigger shift was what he taught himself while grounded — that the same contractual thinking he'd used against the Navy applies to how a family holds and controls its money.From there they dig into human life value, why most fathers are "a McLaren insured like a Civic," the protect-save-grow order of operations, the average-rate-of-return sleight of hand in conventional financial planning, and how whole life cash value works as a contractual, guaranteed, liability-protected asset rather than an expense.This is a long one and it earns it.

Oto sits down with Hans Toohey — former Navy helicopter pilot, Harvard Kennedy School grad, and co-founder of Remnant Finance — for a conversation that starts with a broken contract and ends somewhere very few finance conversations go. Hans was twelve years into a career he'd planned his whole adult life around when he refused the mandate, filed a religious accommodation request, and got benched from the cockpit for two years while the Navy sat on his appeal.What he did with those two years is why this episode exists. He'd studied contract law as an elective at Harvard, so when the Navy tried to rewrite his contract retroactively, recoup a bonus they'd already paid, and claw back years of flight pay, he recognized exactly what he was looking at. He fought it. The class action won. But the bigger shift was what he taught himself while grounded — that the same contractual thinking he'd used against the Navy applies to how a family holds and controls its money.From there they dig into human life value, why most fathers are "a McLaren insured like a Civic," the protect-save-grow order of operations, the average-rate-of-return sleight of hand in conventional financial planning, and how whole life cash value works as a contractual, guaranteed, liability-protected asset rather than an expense.This is a long one and it earns it.

In naval aviation the timing is rigid enough that two years out of the cockpit ends a career regardless of how the appeal resolves.When the Navy demanded he restart a three-year contract they had prevented him from fulfilling, he refused on frustration-of-contract grounds. They charged him with breach, recouped roughly $50,000, and assigned it as a debt that followed him to the US Treasury with 30% added on separation.His framing on protection: your ability to produce income is your greatest asset, and most people insure a fraction of it — "a McLaren insured like a Civic."Protect, save, grow, in that order. His argument is that conventional planning skips to growth, and a failure at the protection or savings layer disrupts everything downstream.LEARN MORE / CONNECTRemnant Finance: <a href="https://remnantfinance.com" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://remnantfinance.com</a>X: <a href="https://x.com/remnantfinance" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://x.com/remnantfinance</a>The Remnant Finance Podcast — on all platformsMENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEBecoming Your Own Banker — R.
